1) My worst nightmare is losing a notebook. I've done that on several occasions. Why the hell I can't keep hold of them, I have no idea. I also wonder what people think of the work when they read through them. And you know they are reading through them.
ReplyDelete2) Sorry about the lost glove. I hate lost gloves. Their mate seems so inappropriate after that.
3) Have your tried the Campbell's lentil soup? It is actually pretty damn good. I revised my judgment of Campbell's after trying it.
Ouch! I'm not sure what seems like it would hurt more--the loss of the notebook or the eating of several frozen pizzas. But bravo on the tree! A sign of good things to come.
ReplyDeleteSorry about the notebook and the glove. Maybe they will turn up in the lining of a suitcase or at the bottom of something?
ReplyDeleteMust try the Vegetarian Vegetable. Soup from a can often saves us. On weekday nights.
I hope the getting better begins promptly!!
I lost a notebook once in Iowa. It was a notebook that I kept on my trip to Africa. It included several pressed flowers, the words to a Ghanaian folk song, and a recipe for groundnut stew.
ReplyDeleteI would rather eat frozen pizza than lose a notebook.
I just had couscous from a box the other day--it sucked and had an after-taste.
ReplyDeleteI see better food in your near future.
